NAMM 2025: Fender hopes to come to the aid of players who find inspiration strikes away from the confines of a studio or full home recording setup. Its answer, the Fender Link I/O interface, is “a studio-grade audio interface designed to fit in a pocket,” to help capture quickfire recordings anytime, anywhere.
It’s a familiar concept by now, but Fender entering the field is the latest step in its integration to the home recording market. As such, the Link I/O aims to be a “one-stop solution” with jack inputs for instruments and a headphone output. It’s compatible with phones, tablets, Macs, and PCs, with the promise of latency-free tracking prevalent across all devices.
